Question
My child is two years old and has been urinating frequently, sometimes needing to urinate more than once an hour. However, he drinks a lot of water and sweats a lot while sleeping; his clothes and pillow are damp. What could be the cause?
Answer
Common causes of frequent urination include urinary tract infections, but if the child shows no symptoms, it may be due to physiological frequent urination, possibly caused by cold weather, excessive drinking, or overexertion. It is recommended to first conduct urine routine tests. If the results are normal, there should be no major issues. The child’s excessive sweating during deep sleep at night may be due to calcium deficiency, weakness, or nervous system tension. It is suggested to supplement calcium appropriately and increase nutrition in the diet. At the same time, pay close attention to any changes in the condition.
